From the Farmer: "It all started during my childhood when I used to accompany my mother, Leda, to the farm. Later, she encouraged me to attend the college of agronomy. From there to now, the interest has become a passion, and I can’t imagine myself working with any other thing. The desire to stay in the profession comes from knowing that I never know everything; there is always new knowledge to be tested, it is always dynamic. Also, the satisfaction of being able to please several people with my work is something priceless to me."
Creating Equity and Building Capacity for Women Growing Coffee: According to the United Nations, if women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the gains in productivity would reduce the number of people experiencing hunger in the world by 150 million. Women reinvest more of their direct earnings into the well-being of their households, communities, and businesses. Despite this, key aspects of coffee as an agricultural endeavor are typically controlled by men. Café Delas is committed to changing this narrative.
Café Delas Initiatives:
- Café Delas coffee comes from farming operations owned by women.
- Café Delas women farmers are listed as business proprietors in all Olam commercial systems.
- All Olam sourcing-related systems contain gender traceability.
- Café Delas women coffee farmers are paid directly for their coffee.
- Café Delas coffee is sold at a 5-cent premium, which is shared with the women in cash and/or equipment and training to enhance quality both in the cup and in farm practices.
Empowering Women: Perhaps most importantly, Café Delas does not merely seek out circumstances where women are the decision-makers behind a coffee. Olam actively provides outreach and education to women involved in coffee, equipping them to be decision-makers. Women in the Café Delas program are required to be involved in leadership and have a voice in the community.
